Roasted Tomato Pasta with Kale and Mozzarella

You didn’t think I froze all of the slow roasted tomatoes, right? As I was filling jars I was dreaming of this recipe for Roasted Tomato Pasta with Kale and Mozzarella: penne pasta in a rich sauce of roasted tomatoes and tender kale topped with melting mozzarella.

If you’ve already roasted the tomatoes, the hardest part of this Roasted Tomato Pasta is boiling pasta. If you haven’t roasted tomatoes, then you’ll have to open a can of roasted tomatoes. Either way, you’ll have dinner – or a really nice lunch – on the table in 15 minutes flat.

Instructions

Cook penne according to package directions.

Meanwhile heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; cook and stir until shallots begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and kale; cook and stir until most of the liquid from the tomatoes has evaporated and kale is tender.

Drain pasta and add directly into tomato mixture; stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Divide pasta mixture into two serving bowls and drizzle with olive oil. Divide mozzarella evenly over bowls and serve.
